4.1.7 Window & Sunhood Details
Burwood Consolidated DCP Pt 4 - Appian Way Conservation Area
WS1 New windows for a dwelling are to match and complement original windows
and should incorporate the following details:
Vertical modules, either single and grouped in banks divided only by
timber sashes and mullions.
The proportions of an opening rectangular window shall generally be a
third as wide as it is tall (for a single window), with banking in these
proportions for larger openings and for bay windows;
Window frames should be in wood and painted to match original
paintwork.
Window types should respond to the existing detailing of the dwelling
house
Note: Council’s planning staff can supply further information appropriate to the
particular case, on window types (sash, casement, bay, etc), leadlight and coloured
glass, other divisions of window surface, fanlights, etc.
WS2 Aluminum framed windows will not be permitted. Original sunhoods should be
retained, repaired or reinstated where necessary.
WS3 Modern style external security roll-up metal screens or grilles are not
appropriate to dwellings in the Appian Way.
Figure 12: It is important to maintain the window detail/proportions and not to paint over material
not originally painted.
Additional new windows should reflect the same proportions
4.1.8 Door Details
D1 Front doors should match existing and contain moulded recessed timber
panels and leadlight/stained glass panels, together with sidelights and
fanlights, to accentuate the prominence of the entry.
